Hi and welcome to the Phourm!!
Well we are actually in the wrong section so we will probably get moved to electronic Restoration.
What you are looking is even hard to come by here in the states too as it hasn't been made since 1931 or so.
There are two ways to go.
Try to find an original one, they do show up on ebay from time to time.
Or you can build a speaker that will work. You will need a 8" PM speaker, a suitable matching transformer, 10H 100MA choke, and suitable cord and connector.
